Subject: [PATCH 27/33] x86/fpu: Simplify fpu__activate_fpstate_read()

fpu__activate_fpstate_read() can only ever be called for a non-current,
non-executing (stopped) task - so make sure this is checked via a warning
and remove the current-task logic.

This also fixes an incorrect (but harmless) warning introduced by one of
the earlier patches.
